This 1932 Lincoln KB Sedan is a spectacular Preservation car, with Fork & Blade V-12 power, silky smooth synchromesh transmission, almost entirely original paint, and original interior! Pebble Beach Concours Preservation class participant in 2002, and CCCA National first place in 2008! And, a multi-Caravan participant, successfully navigated lengthy tours. The driving experience is that of a nearly new car! I marvel at how wonderful this car is to 0perate!
.
This was the top of the line when it was new, with a 145 inch wheelbase, a 447.9 cubic inch Fork & Blade V-12 engine that is silent, smooth, and powerful. It has so much torque it almost doesn’t need a transmission! If you must shift, the transmission is synchronized, quiet, and easy to handle.

The styling of the 1932 KB is the Classic Era at it’s peak!
.
It has been in the classic car hobby since 1950, when it was owned by the founder of the lincoln Continental owner’s club. It had only 5,000 miles then, and only 25,600 miles now, which are thought to be original miles!
.
That aggressive grille with thermostatic shutters!
.
Beautiful dual tail lights and trunk rack
.
Thermostatically operated hood vents! Working properly!
.
that is the actual original interior! Unbelievably nice!
.
Astonishingly nice original! This car has obviously been babied since new.
.
Great shaded sunvisors. And notice how nice the headliner is, original of course.
.
Beautiful steering wheel and instruments. The car has a fitted floormat to protect the original carpeting, as well as custom made seat covers (not shown in the photos) to use when touring or driving. Having a preservation class car means taking extra measures like this to keep the originality intact.
.
One of the great dashboards of all time!
.
This car, although it is a 5 passenger sedan, is equipped with “Opera” seats – just a platform, no backrest. With a 145 inch wheelbase, there’s enough room for some of your friends.
.
The 447.9 Cubic inch Lincoln V-12 is one of the absolute best of the Classic era! This one runs like it was new – silent, easy to start, and with steam locomotive torque!
.
This is the original powerplant for this car, the engine number matches the firewall tag.
.
A monster engine requires a monster carburetor – in this case, a Stromberg downdraft DD3.
.
Beautiful!
.
The brakes are vacuum booster power assisted mechanical / cable operated brakes. They have just been adjusted, and require very little pedal effort. They’re very, very powerful brakes!

Here’s the CCCA first place badge and letter from 2008.

One of the Best KB Lincolns in the world!
